Yesterday evening Matt and I felt ditched by everyone else so decided to go on the long-awaited Moustache Tour. (We weren’t ditched, and in the minutes after feeling so, bumped into almost everybody else that we spend time with here. We even recruited a few of them.) The Moustache Tour is a visit to the colourful and quirky cargo storage portion of McMurdo. In one section there, all of the aisles are labeled by types of moustache. We see some of the signs on our drive to LDB, but needed to see them all.
During they day, the helium-filled cryostat got cold, and preliminary noise tests look good. Setup progressed for all the calibrations and tests that we would like to do in the next few days. And all the miscellaneous other things that go on here.
